This is where my opening knowledge ended. 7.Be3
b6
Black is playing for control of the the long diagonal and pressure on g2. 8.Nf3
[8.Qf3!?
I considered this but wanted to avoid a queen exchange after c6 and Qd5. White has more space and should avoid trades unless they bring about another type of advantage. In retrospect I like the idea of taking control of diagonal and pressuring the doubled pawns. I also see that Ne2 to g3 blocks the half open g file and help me attack the weak pawns] 8...Bb7
9.Bb5+
This move is to force Black to tie up his pieces a little. 9...Nd7
10.Qe2
[10.0-0
Computers like 0-0 here but I do not want to play into the pressure on g2] 10...c6
11.Bd3
Qc7
12.0-0-0
0-0-0
13.Kb1
h5
14.c4
My idea was to gain space and transfer my dark squared bishop to c3 to attack the black pawns. 14...e5?
e5 is too soon. the king is still in the line of fire. 15.Bf5!
Bd6??
Black breaks missing the tactics with the bishops and the pin, too bad I missed the best route also. 16.dxe5
fxe5
17.Qd2
Be7
18.Ng5?
[18.Nxe5!!
I looked at this move but missed that 18. ... Bb4 can be overcome by just taking the knight on d7 with 18...Qxe5
(18...Bb4

) 19.Bxd7+
Rxd7
20.Qxd7+
] 18...Rhf8
19.f3
Weak move giving up most of my advantage allowing liquidation [19.Nh7!
I needed to keep the pressure up. There is no reason to exchange untill I win something my king is safer and the pin is still strong. 19...Rfe8

black play well here exchanging into an = endgame. 25.Rxd8

I thought the 2 bishops would matter here but the knight has outposts and black has chances to exchange into a bishops of the opposite color endgame. 28.Bf6

The game is now dead even, black has more space white has better structure but the bishops mean either side can loss a few pawns and still hold. 1/2-1/2
